    QSA LANEDRI Series

    Anas gave me yet another surprise last Thursday. He brought over an Ultimatum PC burnt-in using his high wattage burning method to compare with my Ultimatum PC which has been feeding my Taiko extreme non-stop for 2 weeks. Wow you've got to believe this. It is just way better than mine. Both are...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    Santa has been very kind to me this year. He brought me two Ultimatum AC power cord replacing my two Spectra Infinity power cords. In this very busy time of the year we still managed to get three of us together to audition this new gigantic Ultimatum power cord. With such high hopes based on the...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    Maybe I can give some user experience on the QSA-L GI XLR cables. I have been using them between my DAC and preamp for the past 9 months or so. I did not try it between the preamp and power amp because I need a long interconnect 3m at least as my monoblock power amps are placed close to my...

    Yes. It is the 5m SFP+ DAC cable.

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    Last night we had a great gathering in my den again. Me and six other friends welcomed Anas and his silver suitcase full of QSA Lanedri goodies. Knowing that I have recently received my Taiko switch and NIC card he suggests that I should have an audition of his QSA treated Gamma Infinity DAC...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    It's 3 months since I received my first QSA Lanedri cables and finally the long awaited Ultimatum Infinity speaker cables arrived. During these 3 months quite a lot of upgrades including my second order of QSA -Lanedri cables including Spectra Prince Infinity and Gamma Infinity Ethernet cable...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    It is really fortunate for me to be able to join this second audition of QSA Lanedri cables in Hong Kong at John's Home. It actually provides a chance for me to witness other strength and charisma of this great cable series. Hong Kong is famous or infamous for having the smallest living space...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    Big thanks to you Anas for your hard work. It is really great to be able to hold this audition of the new series of QSA Lanedri cables here in Hong Kong. I must say that even though I know what to expect from the many QSA silver fuses and receptacles that are still residing in my system I am...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Big thanks to Emile updating the OS for me late last night. I listened to it tonight and yes there is a big SQ improvement. After updating the Roon and familiarizing I have listened for an hour or so and it is better than the HQplayer/NAA I was using before. I am using the Holo Audio May and I...

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    This is a very small world. It happens that Jaap van Zweden is the Music Director of both NY Philharmonic and the Hong Kong Philharmonic.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Big thanks to Christoph for upgrading the firmware for me. Sure the magic is back. The presence and transparency which has been missed for such a long time all seem to come back to life. I would say that the presence and transparency is back to 90% of previous state. In my system there is a...

    Melco S100 audiophile switch

    I would go for Melco S100 because the improvement is more comprehensive. SOtM with clock gives you a much improved high yet the bass is light and you need to think about some remedy for that. I have not tried SOtM with sPS 500 but my experience with even good LPS for SOtM the improvement is not...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Hi Steve, I heard you clearly here. You probably got me wrong on that or maybe I did not write clearly enough. I understand that it should be 4 feet under each equipment and I am doing that too in all my equipment. What I was saying is that the effect of one set of 0.8 under the DAC, another set...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Thanks Steve for your advice. I would certainly try get hold of a set of 1.5 for audition. As for vibration control I tend to have some different opinion. I look at vibration control and footers as part of the process of frequency manipulation. Whilst doing their job of damping vibration (and...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Thanks to Romaz for sharing with us all these valuable experience for tweaking the extreme. I would certainly revisit this wealth of information very often. While I would agree to most if not all of his findings I do notice that I seem to be walking a different route and hopefully can still...

    Melco S100 audiophile switch

    I tried the 100Mbps outputs of S100 as the last switch connecting to the NAA and yes the sound is a bit more musical compared with the 1G ports. One could describe it as less raw and less edgy than the 1G ports and there is no slowing at all. The drawback for me is that there are some dropouts...

    Melco S100 audiophile switch

    Here comes the part II of S100 audition. The two S100 switches which my friend Raymond bought one for me and one for himself just arrived today and he brought them over to my place and we continue our audition of these 2 brand new S100. I must say that the s100 is really something and they...

    Melco S100 audiophile switch

    My Cybershaft OP21A has 4 separate outputs and there is a choice of isolating the ground or connecting the ground with chassis for every output. In my situation I have selected isolating the ground for all the outputs so there is no chance of the ground being contaminated even if there is...

    Melco S100 audiophile switch

    It is quite unlikely that we can schedule any gathering to fully evaluate the S100 because of the Coronavirus situation here. So I would try to give our early impression on the S100. This is based on an audition by me and another buddy after burning the S100 for a week. I have not tested the...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    This is my first post here in WBF although I have been reading through this long thread quite a number of times and also some friends have also cross referenced to my system before here in WBF. So I guess I am not that new either. I was among the three buddies in our group who purchased the...
